Adventures in Oracle Solaris 11

Friday Mar 22, 2013

If you've ever wondered where Oracle has been putting its R&D lately, here's an event that you'll not want to miss. On Tuesday 26th March at 1pm PT, we'll be announcing a set of new Oracle SPARC based servers with the world's fastest microprocessor. Both Larry Ellison and John Fowler will be on stage with this live webcast.

While I can't obviously divulge what we'll be talking about in any detail, I've been very fortunate enough to see the engineering going into SPARC and Oracle Solaris day by day, month by month as we optimize right across the Oracle stack, from applications through to disk. Few other IT vendors have the opportunity to do anything close to this level of integration, and the results are going to be a game changer. I'll be live tweeting the event over on our ORCL_Solaris account, and Larry will be doing the same over on Facebook. If you've ever been in doubt with Oracle's intent around SPARC and Oracle Solaris, I think this will change your mind.
